I do software, not hardware. What's this dye layer? Aren't CDs just plastic?

Any idea how I can connect a memory card to USB?

(it would be a bit like discovering that the C64 did have built-in WLAN support).

I doubt it'll work, but it can't hurt to try, right?

I have SCPH-7501, but I have no idea how to connect a memory card to my laptop computer to get the BIOS. All I have for input is USB and CD/DVD.

I also saw SCPH-9001 for sale recently. I don't know if it's still in the store.

Just a thought: can the PS1 burn discs?
